Wright County,Iowa Fairview Cemetery Among the pretty cemeteries found in the famous Iowa valley, perhaps no town has a more beautiful site for its ".Silent City'" than has Dows. Fairview cemetery is situated on the crest of a very high elevation, over looking the Iowa river and the town of Dows, where one may behold the country for nearly twenty miles—at least to the center of both Wright and Franklin counties. This cemetery was laid out in 1901 and was added to in 1913. Its improvements are fine and its monuments are exceptionally attractive. The grounds are all nicely enclosed by a wrought-iron fence, and are kept exceptionally clean and attractive, with here and there an artificial shade and ornamental tree. A good cement walk leads the entire distance from the town to the sacred enclosure. The care shown the departed dead always is a good index to the character of the people of any given community.
